[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#492513: libkipi - tighten shlibs or bump soname (undefined symbol)

[Mark Purcell]

Release-Team,

The undefined symbol is caused by an API change in libkipi.

As compatibility is maintained, kphotoalbum and gwenview work correctly with 
the all versions of libkipi0.  However digikam requires libkipi0 >= 1.6.1.

I see two options for resolution:

1.  Tighten the shlibs libkipi0 (>= 0.1.6-1), upload libkipi0_0.1.6-2 then 
binNMU digikam, or

2.  Bump soname - say libkipi0deb_0.1.6-2, process through NEW, then binNMU 
digikam, kphotoalbum and gwenview.

Which option would you prefer for lenny?
